S. McCullum (CMAR) | 1.Winch Testing(CMAN2 8.1 )All winches: test operation; spooling; and controls (dogbox, cathouse, remote controls, bridge controls) by paying out and retrieving while underway. 2.Winch Monitoring Testing(CMAN2 8.1)-Operational testing of winch monitoring system 3.Electrical thermoghaphic test -Thermography of Main Switchboards and associated Control Panels. 4.CTD Winch testing - One CTD test cast will be undertaken in conjunction with testing of the two CTD winches systems ,the second CTD winch will be tested with a small weight. 5.Acoustics Calibration - EM300 and Doppler log calibration will be performed through a series of 6 runs at the designated site. 6.Main Engine and Turbo Charger (CMAN2 2.1)- A series of controlled power increases and inspections will be undertaken in accordance with Main Engine Manufactures testing guidelines.Testing of Main Engine 7.Met Station Testing - Operational testing of the Met system 8.Various DAP systems testing - Operational testing of various ship's scientific systems will be carried following maintenance during the port period. These will be carried out opportunistically and should be transparent to vessel operations. 9.Air and Water greenhouse sensor System. Setup and testing of underway air /water greenhouse sensor system |

Don McKenzie (CMAR) | The vessel will sail on Thursday morning at 1100 and steam to a suitable site for the re-spooling - SE of Tasman Island - and is due back at 1100 Friday. If the weather conditions are suitable Tim Ryan and Mark Lewis will then take the ship to White Rock to carry out an acoustic calibration and they will be back at 1700. |

C. Yeats (CSIRO Exploration and Mining) | The Cheshire Seamount lies close the the western tip of the Woodlark oceanic spreading ridge where it is actively propagating into continental crust, a globally unusual setting. This project aims to sample the crest of Cheshire Seamount and test the feature for hydrothermal activity. The work is closely related to SS200706, which immediately follows the transit and is an extension of previous MNF voyages led by CSIRO-ANU. Voyage Objectives Utilising high resoultion multibeam and sidescan images recently collected and provided by Nautilus Minerals, the primary objectives in this project are:
